Almighty Coach

Chapter 619: For the championship

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers face the Warriors at home.

In the Western Conference semifinals that ended a few days ago, the Clippers swept their opponents 4 to 0, and the Warriors and the Rockets battled seven games, so the physical consumption of the Warriors is definitely greater. More importantly, there is a core in the Warriors. The player is injured, it is estimated that the two games before the Western Conference can not play.

The Clippers are at home at home, and the results of the game are also expected by most people. Although the Warriors showed a tenacious attitude, they eventually lost to the Clippers.

In the seven-game four-win series, the first game is more like a trial. Both sides are testing the opponent's fictitiousness and losing the side of the game, and then make adjustments in the next game. Especially the side that loses the game will make a tactical arrangement for "sex". So it often happens that you win one and I win one.

However, after losing, the Warriors did not conduct tactical targeting. This is not the lack of tactical ability of the Warriors coaching team, but playing the Clippers. There is really nothing to target.

The Clippers play star ball, which is not a complicated tactic. Under normal circumstances, to deal with star teams, the main purpose is to defend their star players against "specific" defenses, such as jamming around the front to interfere with their catch, restricting one of their scoring methods, or using wheels to fight "Three British wars against Lu Bu" consumes its physical strength.

Sometimes facing superstars, interfering with catching and restricting scoring, have no good effect, but the wheel battle is indeed a tool for unsatisfactory trials. Prepare two or three physically strong villains to die with you and fight six times. Penalties for foul play can also drain your physical strength. It's when individuals have physical exhaustion, even for superstars, they can't play 48 minutes in a game, and it's impossible to play 48 minutes in a series.

However, this tactic against the star defense cannot be used on the Clippers because the Clippers have too many stars. A defensive player can defend a star, a defensive system can protect two or three stars, but even if the five players of the best defensive lineup are put on the field, it is impossible to defend five stars.

In the sport of basketball, the attacking party always has the initiative. The five best defensive players face the five best offense players and may play a game with extremely low scoring and slow rhythm, but the winner is definitely the attacking side.

Facing such a Clippers, the Warriors can make tactical adjustments not for "sex" defense, but for "sex" offense.

There are two ways to win, one is that the opponent scores less than himself, and the other is that he scores more than his opponent. So in the second game of both sides, the Warriors' most obvious change is that the offensive rhythm has become faster and the ball has moved faster. They need to score more points than the Clippers.

The Clippers coaching staff also did not make much tactical adjustments. For a team playing star ball, too complicated tactics may not have a good effect, as long as it can continue to create one-on-one singles opportunities. Unlimited one-on-one singles is the only tactic of star ball.

What's more, the Warriors' tactical system is also transparent in front of the Clippers.

The tactical system of a successful team is always transparent. Like the Warriors, the most successful team in recent years, their tactical system is not only studied by NBA, but also the object of key research in the world. European basketball, Asian basketball, and basketball of various national teams are learning the Warriors' style of play. Imagine that basketball professionals all over the world are staring at you. They are constantly studying every game you play and every time you cooperate. Even if it is a complex tactical system, there will be no secrets. Language.

Therefore, in NBA, establishing a dynasty is actually very difficult. A dynasty means that it takes three consecutive years to win a championship, and under normal circumstances, the team won a championship, its tactical system will be 29 other goals The team studied thoroughly, and won two consecutive championships, other teams have almost found a way to deal with it. At this time it becomes difficult to win the game.

In the third year, every team will deliberately target, and even some teams will introduce some players with restraint ability for "sex", and the playoffs at this time are equal to being attacked by opponents on the field. Disadvantages, the difficulty of winning the championship has improved several grades compared to the first year.

As a result, only the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls have won the championship for three consecutive years in NBA history. It is really difficult for the Warriors to become the fourth.

...

The second game of the Western Conference finals is still the home of the Clippers.

The Warriors are playing faster and more like the Warriors.

The world knows that the Warriors want to run and play, and the world knows that it is better to slow down against the Warriors, and it is a kind of behavior to kill the rhythm with the Warriors.

The Clippers, a team that plays star football, need to slow down even more. The five players are in a stable position, turning the five-to-five game into five one-on-one, and then playing the star player's individual singles ability. .

The Warriors still haven't been able to take a victory in Los Angeles, and the total score of the series became 2-0.

This result is also expected by many professionals. After all, the Warriors lack one core player. In the face of a group of super-strong men, the Warriors really want to win on the road. There are too many star players in the Clippers, and a crazy outburst can be enough for the Warriors to have a headache.

The good news is that in the next game, the Warriors' missing player will return from injury.

The third match between the two sides will move to the home of the Warriors. For the Warriors, this is a game that can never be lost. Once you lose, you also get 0 to 3 behind. No team in nba has ever been able to make a comeback with a 0-3 fall.

The first two losses, the situation is very unfavorable for the Warriors, but the Warriors did not sit still. After all, it is a championship team. This year it took a lot of hard work to enter the finals. How could it be easy to surrender!

...

Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors, is still offensive.

This time, the Warriors injured players have come back from injury, the Clippers are facing the full formation of Warriors.

Quickly shifting the ball, constantly creating an offensive gap, the Warriors players always keep moving, wear "insert" in the air cut, tearing the Clippers' defense. Once a defensive loophole appears, the Warriors players will not hesitate to point the ball to the basket and score points.

The Warriors' tactics are out!

The coaching staff on both sides are aware of this.

During the clash between the two teams in the regular season, the Clippers star ball game can easily divide the game into a one-on-one heads-up. This one-on-one heads-up also makes the Warriors completely unable to play their own. Tactical system.

But today ’s game is different. The Warriors did not fall into the Clippers ’singles trap. They did not cling to the Clippers’ heads-up, but played their own tactics, fast rotation, fast offensive and defensive conversion, constant The position and air cut of the opponents make it impossible for opponents to build a complete positional defense.

If it is replaced by a normal team, facing a Warriors team that has fully exerted its tactical system, it may crash at any time, be eliminated by the Warriors in the third quarter, or suddenly fall behind the Warriors two in the second half of the fourth quarter. Very, it is a normal state in nba.

But the Warriors today are facing the Clippers, a team with enough stars, and the star team to play the ultimate team.

As long as the star players are willing to work hard, the defense will not be bad, not to mention that the Clippers also gather a group of veterans, these veterans have enough game experience, one is more ingenious when defending, and it is necessary to predict in advance Things, all kinds of defensive tricks are endless.

For professional basketball players, the playing style must be getting dirtier. Those who have played for more than ten years must have countless small movements during defense. These small movements may not have practical meaning, but they will interfere with the opponent's rhythm. , Will induce opponents to foul.

Relying on the rich game experience of a group of veterans, the Clippers carried the third quarter and were taken away by the Warriors in the third quarter.

As for the Warriors, the offensive has also been slightly delayed. They started to charge for the next wave of attack. They will send a killing blow in the fourth quarter.

...

On the bench, Li Dai felt unprecedented pressure.

This pressure comes from the hustle and bustle of the Warriors' "fans" around them, and it also comes from the Warriors playing a perfect offensive system on the court.

A team with four championships and three crowns must have cultivated a lot of crazy ball fans, and it will inevitably have a devil's home court. The Oracle Stadium is like this now. The tens of thousands of spectators on the scene have become yellow. Everyone is crying madly in the ocean of color, the kind of madness even makes the guest Li Dai feel a chill.

When the Warriors are defending, the neat and high "defece" is like a kind of hypnosis, which makes the defender excited and the attacker hesitated. When the Clippers hold the ball, the boos give people endless Pressure and frustration. This home atmosphere is really a torment for the visiting team.

In the Western Conference finals, Oracle Arena can indeed be regarded as the Super Devil's home, even if it is an experienced top team, in this home atmosphere, it will feel doubled in pressure.

As for the Warriors' tactical system, every nba coach has long been afraid. The Warriors use the results of the past few years to prove the strength of their tactical system. For a basketball coach like Li Dai who is a half-man, the tactics are his shortcomings and the source of his pressure.

Tactical targeting? This word has long been ignored by Li Dai. I do n’t understand tactics at all!

So you can only play your tactics, I play my star ball. This trick is useful for most of the time. Today's game, Li Dai is facing a perfect warrior team.

"The Warrior's feel is up!" Li Dai looked at the score and unconsciously, the Clippers had fallen behind.

In terms of shooting percentage, both sides are great, but the Warriors are going to hit more three-pointers, including many unexpected "fairy balls", so the Warriors lead.

The three-pointer has always been the Warriors 'big killer. It used to be the cost of the Warriors' meals. Today's Warriors have picked up this scoring weapon again.

The Warriors, who trailed by 0-2, have been "forced" to a dead end. They added a 3-pointer to "shoot" and are also gambling. For the Warriors, as long as the feel is thrown away, that is an infinite three-point rain, the Warriors will also be invincible.

After a timeout, the players returned to the bench.

The coaching staff of both parties know that the next two sides will send the main lineup to play, and the game has reached the decisive moment.

Even with a 2-0 lead, Li Dai did not want to lose the game. He hoped to win and used a 3-0 to completely destroy the fire of hope for the Warriors to advance.

With the sound of "beep", the timeout period ended and the players began to walk onto the court. At the same time, Li Dai took a deep breath and launched the prayer skills of the lucky horseshoe.

In the next 3 minutes, Li Dai will have good luck, and the Clippers players will also have good luck.

However, Li Dai's actions were not over, he immediately used the request box, he hoped that the request box could give him a winning answer.

"Sign up!" Although Li Dai knew that with the blessing of good luck, he must be able to draw a sign up, but when the sign up appeared, he was still short of breath.

After looking at the lottery results, Li Dai showed a surprise, then immediately said to the referee: "Substitution!"

Although the players are already on the court, the ball is still in the hands of the referee and is not handed over to the serving player, so the game has not started yet. Substitution before the kick-off is allowed.

I saw that Li Dai replaced power forward Noel and replaced Vincent.

At the same time, the Warriors coaching staff "exposed" a surprised expression. This sudden substitution was about to be served, apparently a decision made by Li Dai on a temporary basis.

The Warriors coach Nicholas couldn't help but look at Li Dai as if he wanted to see through Li Dai's ideas. Nicholas knew that this kind of temporary substitution was very dangerous, and he would fight the chaos of the team's previous tactics. But think about it, a team that plays star football doesn't seem to have any tactics.

"Is it a big four team? Why did you use this lineup?" Nicholas muttered to himself, in his opinion, now at this time, a space type 4 position was replaced and a big four team was used. , Is not a good decision.

Not only Nicholas, but also the narrators of the TV broadcasters raised questions.

The space type 4 position, even if it is just standing outside the three-point line, is enough to deter the opponent's defensive player. The game's final decisive moment is a space type 4 position. The senior lineup is even more threatening.

Vincent, who was sent on the court, also seemed at a loss. He usually plays on the bench during the weekdays, and is used as the first scoring leader of the bench. According to the normal rotation order, he should now rest off the court. Now he was suddenly put on the field and had a final battle with the Warriors.

This substitution was indeed too sudden and almost kicked off. Li Dai suddenly said that there was no warning beforehand. At that time, he had already put on his pants and jacket and was lifted from the bench by Li Dai. In a hurry, she took off her coat and walked onto the court, even a little embarrassed.

More importantly, Li Dai didn't explain anything, so he played.

At such a critical moment, this intrusive substitution is definitely a tactical adjustment! Your head coach has to give the player some advice!

But none of these, Li Dai said nothing.

So when Vincent stood on the court, it was still an illusion.

Suddenly, Raymond stepped forward and patted Vincent's shoulder.

"Brother, focus on it, the game is about to start! Win this game, this year's champion is our pocket." Raymond said.

Vincent was stunned, and immediately understood Raymond's meaning.

If the Clippers win this game, the series is 3 to 0. No team in history has ever been able to make a comeback with a 0 to 3 fall, so the Clippers' advancement to the Finals has become inevitable.

The situation of the strong West and the weak East has continued for many years. There is indeed a gap in the overall strength of the East and the West. It is no exaggeration to say that the Western Championship is the championship.

So for the Clippers, this game is not just a playoff contest, but a key battle to win the championship.

"The championship!" Vincent couldn't help but think of the golden championship trophy.

His career has been very successful and he has won countless honors. After retiring, he was in the Hall of Fame for ten years. He can also get a "legendary star" evaluation after several years. But he has not won the championship.

For an nba player, no matter how much honor he has received, as long as there is no championship ring, then his career is regrettable, and even affects the player's historical positioning. As a result, there are too many superstars who will make sacrifices for a championship ring in the middle and late stages of their careers.

Vincent also made sacrifices for the championship. He has lowered his salary, held a group with other star players, and even went to the team that hopes to win the championship. He always missed the championship and even entered the division championship. Expectation.

The cruel reality made him give up the dream of championship. Instead of pursuing the championship, he found a team willing to give him enough playing time to continue his career and continue his love of basketball.

But today, Vincent suddenly found that the coveted championship was so close to him. There was an indescribable excitement in his heart.

"For the championship!" Vincent shouted suddenly, as if cheering for himself.

"Yes, for the championship!" Raymond next to him echoed loudly.

He is similar to Vincent, has received countless honors, can enter the Hall of Fame, can get a legendary star evaluation, but there is no championship, or his honor wall, just one championship!

"For the championship!" Another voice sounded, this time Hall.

Although his honor is not as good as the first two, his career is not too long, but this does not affect his desire for a championship. A man whose knees and meniscus have been removed also wants to play. The desire to win and the desire to win can be imagined. How can such a person tolerate a champion slipping away from his hands.

"For the championship!" Wood made the same voice.

The No. 1 pick of the year, he made a bold statement in the first season of his career, to get a championship for the team, now after many years, he finally has the opportunity to realize his promise.

Gray looked at the four teammates. His career has been almost always fighting injuries. He has no complicated experience and so many honors. He is not very persistent about the championship.

But at this time, he has been infected by his teammates, he felt the desire of the teammates for the championship.

"You are right, for the championship!" Gray's expression also became focused ~ www.readwn.com ~ The momentum is different from the one just now! "Assistant coach Kassel's eyes widened. In his view, Li Dai's decision to change to Senter was not very correct, but after two minutes, he achieved very good results.

Cassell could feel that the Clippers players are very hard, and everyone has a desperate momentum. As if being forced to go to the dead end, you must break the boat and fight back!

"Obviously we have an advantage! Why do you want to lose?" Kassel is somewhat inexplicable. The Clippers now have a 2-0 advantage and have one more home court, which is a good situation. There is no need to show such a tragic momentum. Instead, the Warriors should fight back.

Kassel still underestimated the desire of a group of veterans for the championship. The championship ring is something that these veterans have chased for half a lifetime. For them, this is not simply a championship honor, but also a sustenance for their career.

Simply put, they have lived for the championship for most of their lives! Long live coach
